In almost all fishing towns, more espe cially those of the continent, there is a land population and a sea population scrupulously distinct. In the French ports of the Channel, such as,. the Calais and Dieppe, the fishermen have a quartir, their patois, their costume, their charac teristic sports and dances, to which they I adhere with all the prejudice of caste ; standing apart front their fellow-towns men, from whom they are divided only by a street or a brook, as tenaciously as Jew from Christian, or Musseltnan from Flindoo. And thus their peculiarities of nature become hereditary. Even in early childhood, the fisherman's buy is as com plete a miniature of the fisherman, as the young shrimp of the old one. During the summer season when the Calaisans and mariners of the Pullet (the fishing suburb of Dieppe) frequent on Sun days and holydays, the same publie gar dens or dancina-booths as their fellow citizens, the in his canvass trow oars anti capacious boots, is never seen to girt , his arro to the tripping grisette or "ONE COUNTRY, ONE CONSTITUTON, ONE .

She was arrow- A. *. * plishing, woman's upon earth —the task of consolation. The man was her husband. But though often from sunrise to nightfall not a word of kindness broke from his parched lips to cheer the dreariness of her life, his silent moroseness, was no offence. H e was ;nail —heart broken—dying ; and she fowled that his madness and misery ‘t ere her work. Three years before, Pierre Romeny and his wife were a happy, thriving couple.— No brighter scarlet skirts, no richer cross of gold or pendant earrings, no wider Valenciennes frilling disposed in plaits upon the bronzed neck, appeared en fete days at early IMISS, or on Sunday after. noon, on the jetty Calais, than those of the Francoise, paraded on the arm of her stout help mate, as marshalling 'iefore her a little Francoise, and a little Pierre, as hearty and Ps happy as themselves.— The boy, mere especially, Kati one ot those sunny laced creatures upon which the eye oldie stranger delighted toil well. Mara an English family disembar king on the pier of the Calais, used to fling their bright eyed sailor boy a piece of money, whose Oatkome countenance seemed a favorable omen tar their tour. All their little gains, •. as well an the earnings of his c alling , were deposited with his parent. On, duteous, thankful the child had no exis• tense save in them; adoring bin mother, and obeying his father, as they loved him! in return. The little warm hearted fel low appeared to be the bond uniting in steadfast harmony the thriving household of the Romneys. One autumn however, a series of stor my equinoctial weather brought idleness, and consequently need and suffering, to the fishing population of the French coast, l and as if wantonly to aggravate the evils of the hour, Pierre Romney seized upon the season of adversity to indulge in vices for which he never before evinced a pro- pensity. To beguile his disappointments, he betook himself to drink and dominon, squandering at the estamind the ineans which had become doubly precious to his family.

ANV are that his exertions were likely to become valu able to his mother, he refused to return home ; nod seeming to taken pride in the idea of his first cruise, emancipated from the insti uction of his father. Poor Fran cot.e who had followed him to the port, after watching the Jeanette pitch her way out of 01, , hatbox, knelt down with a hea vy heart at the foot'ot the cro , s to implore bless,o ; :: upon the boy, her joy, her com fort.

By the time the 14,h t house sent forth its warning brigh!ness, the waves ran so high, and the dalknessi of the night was so terrible, that it surpris ed no one, when the turn ,of the title brought with it only one of the three fish ing smacks which had ventured out. The .h , anette was evidently unable to make the harbor. All the night did Francois Romney pass upon the jetty, drenched to the skits, chilled to the very marrow of her bones, Faying, raving,' despairing. Morning came at last, anti brought no conifott, for by the grey lurid light of an equinoctial dawn, site saw the wreck of the Jeanette stranded oil Fort Rouge. It was not, howevdr, till evening, that the body of the only individual missing was washed ashore. The clamorous rejoicing of the wives whose husbands had been spared, drowned the faint cry of the poor mother when a dark ohjoct entangled in sea weed, was snatched by the wreckers from the waves, and deposited upon her knees.
